Poured slightly hazy, dark amber in color, with a healthy cap of beige head that displayed moderate retention and lacing. Aroma was malt-dominant, dark sugars, roasty, with herbal notes. More of the same in the taste, dark roasty malts, burnt caramel, herbal and floral notes with subtle touches of citrus...not particularly smokey from what I remember, but maybe just a bit of ashiness present; lasting bitterness in the finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation, tasty, and quite drinkable overall. (549 characters)
